The next major resistance is near the $152 level. The main resistance could be $160 and the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $172 swing high to the $141 low. A successful close above the $160 resistance zone could set the pace for another steady increase. The next key resistance is $172. Any more gains might send the price toward the $180 level.

Another Decline In SOL?

If SOL fails to rise above the $152 resistance, it could continue to move down. Initial support on the downside is near the $142 zone. The first major support is near the $140 level.

A break below the $140 level might send the price toward the $132 support zone. If there is a close below the $132 support, the price could decline toward the $120 support in the near term.
